Lambros Konstantaras (Greek: Λάμπρος Κωνσταντάρας; March 13, 1913 – June 28, 1985) was a Greek stage and screen actor, one of the best actors in Greece.

After working in several theatre groups he formed his own with Jenny Karezi, Maro Kontou and Nikos Rizos, often working together with such actresses as Ellie Lambeti, Aliki Vougiouklaki and others. However, Konstantaras was far better known as a film actor, playing leading roles in over 80 movies including "Η Αλίκη στο Ναυτικό" ("Aliki in the Navy") with Aliki Vougiouklaki and Dimitris Papamichail), "Η χαρτοπαίχτρα" ("The card-player") with Rena Vlachopoulou, "Η κόρη μου η σοσιαλίστρια" ("My daughter the socialist") and many more. In his youth, many of his roles were of a serious nature but later on in life he played almost exclusively comic roles usually as an executive or the father of the bride, etc. Lambros Konstantaras died on June 28, 1985, and is buried in the First Cemetery of Athens.
